Scambusters, Preventing Internet Scams & Phishing Attempts

This blog is dedicated to help preventing internet fraud and internet scams. Scambusters was a radio show I started in Albany Oregon, but due to defaulted payment by the radio station we took the show offline. Regardless of this issue we still wish to help prevent internet fraud and save people from internet loss. I have been interviewed and featured in various publications such as the Wall Street Journal, New York Times & Daily News, The London Times & AARP Newsletters. Please watch this blog for latest tips and tricks and scams to avoid.

Bank scam, hard to fall for as the info makes no sense to 99.99% of the population, however the link may have contained malware. The DNS information for the link is at the bottom of this message. A China / Russia mix.

You should have received a notice recently about the upcoming security
enhancement on July 7, 2008 to WebBiz and WireBiz called Colonial
